Two. Either defeat all the empires or own 40% of the galaxy.

There's pretty much only one victory condition: You (or your alliance) controls thye majority of the galaxy. There's no cultural, diplomatic or variant win conditions. It's pretty much a singular militaristic domination of the known systems.

This. Paradox games aren't about winning the game or winning conditions. I have never won in any Paradox game and I never even tried to, you set your goals yourself.

AKA since the actual 'win condition' sucks so bad as usual, make your own fun even if you don't get the win credits.

Win credits??

And tbh I prefer simpler win conditions one thing I hated about endless legends (which is otherwise awesome) was the tons of win conditions, some of which were stupidly easily to exploit and end the game way to early. I just always turn off everything apart from dominance anyway.

is there diplomacy?

[Xiane]

Not really. The diplomacy is currently VERY simplistic and equates to:

- Do you kiss the other empires ass?

- Do you threaten them?

- Do you offer a trade of resources/technology which consistently is rejected by the AI unless its grossly unfair for you?

Yes its a little underdeveloped at this point but functional and does the job
